Who knows the last time Benny went 1-4, I can assure u they got the butt chewing of their life personal fouls show immaturity and hurt the team big time. I;m going to PF  Lenior city game to see if the tigers can get a win. I do think GP will be 2-3 after Fri.night ( I guess I still believe GP will do what they do WIN) :mrgreen:

Bass.....If we didn't have the talent I could just say that was it, but we do possess some very good players.  Up to this point our inability to do fundamental things in the offense has been puzzling.  If we get out of the dropped ball syndrome we, IMHO, wouldn't be having this conversation.  I can't tell you how many dropped balls we have had that would have led to first downs, but a rough estimate is about 10 or 11......in four games...!  Our failure at that is allowing teams to load up in the box.....at one time last week Midway had 9 players inside 5 yards of the line of scrimmage on the snap.  I swear if we start gaining some consistency catching passes the whole thing will go.  Mentally the kids just have to get sharper.....cause the defense is still good in my opinion.  GB scored 2 times on our offense (scoop and scores), otherwise that game is basically a 14/14 ball game.  Nobody thinks they are struggling too much.  It is going to take a reversal of fortune for us to get out of this rut, but one thing a lot of Oneida teams in the past have been known for is grit.....this team really needs that back.  Who knows, perhaps they will find it up at GP.

The offense seems stagnant in Oneida. At the first of the season they were one of my top two picks out of the east to make it to Cookeville. What going on with that offense?

After playing them i can tell you they have one of their best QBs i have seen at OHS and i have seen alot of them.They have recievers that get open and run good routes but have trouble holding on.The D is a typical Oneida D.They lack speed at all positions but they are never what you call a very fast team.As stated before from crow leadership seems to be the biggest issue.They have what it takes to win the region i am sure of it,but they are a game down now.As we all know all this means nothing if they get it together in the next few weeks.

OB.....your getting ready to face a solid Kingston team and then turn around with a good one in Coalfield.  You have the goods to get past both of them.  I think you will feel a little better in two weeks because your boys will have a ton of confidence if they get by those teams.  My expectation is Kingston (right now) is the steeper climb.  However, that game isn't going to make or break your team.....it is just a great opportunity to stand toe to toe with a good football team.  Iron sharpens Iron.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
